Diagnostic efficiency of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for suspected spinal tuberculosis in China: A multicenter prospective study.

Background: The pathogens of suspected spinal tuberculosis (TB) include TB and non-TB bacteria. A rapid and effective diagnostic method that can detect TB and non-TB pathogens simultaneously remains lacking. Here, we used metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to detect the pathogens in patients with suspected spinal TB.

Functional analysis of long-chain non-coding RNA in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the expression profile of long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to explore the biological functions of differentially expressed lncRNA in the cancer tissues as compared with adjacent normal tissues, and the differentially expressed lncRNAs related to OSCC were screened.

Methods: High-throughput lncRNA microarray assay was used to detect the expression of lncRNA and mRNA in the OSCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues from five patients. The expression profiles of the lncRNA and mRNA in the cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed and the differentially expressed lncRNA and mRNAs were identified.

The Clinical Features and Bacteriological Characterizations of Bone and Joint Tuberculosis in China.

Bone and Joint tuberculosis (BJTB) constitutes about 10% of total extra-pulmonary TB cases. Since the BJTB is a paucibacillary condition, there has been no systematic study on the bacterial characterization, especially the epidemiological feature. Here we collected the mycobacterial clinical isolates, analyzed the clinical features and the bacteriological characteristics from 113 BJTB cases reported in China.

[Analysis of failure reasons for postoperative patients of spinal tuberculosis complicated with paraplegia of 32 cases].

Objective: To discuss the failure reasons of operation for spinal tuberculosis complicated with paraplegia and methods of the second operation.

Methods: Spinal tuberculosis paraplegic patients (18 males, 14 females) were reviewed retrospectively. They have been treated with failing decompressive surgery from January 2001 to December 2006.
